Christmas has come early for two madlang people in “It’s Showtime” after they won P1 million on two consecutive days in the noontime program’s newest segment ‘Isang Tanong, Isang Milyon.’

Roberto Bulanhagui, who has been an ice cream vendor for 40 years in Luneta, was hailed as the segment’s first-ever millionaire Tuesday (Nov 19) after correctly guessing and giving the answer “Earth” to the mystery question “Ang kontinenteng Antarctica ay sa anong planeta makikita?” before it was even revealed.

Roberto said that since he was kid, he has been selling ‘dirty ice cream,’ a small business that was passed along to him by his father and grandfather. He provides for his family with the P300 that he earns each day, but it still able to send to school all of his five kids, one of whom has already finished college. Because of this, the program’s hosts praised him for his perseverance, integrity, and for being an inspiration to all Filipinos.

He also stated that he would use the prize money to pay for his kids and tuition and the medical bills of his diabetic mother.

Twenty-seven-year old Jobelle Gervacio, meanwhile, became the segment’s second millionaire Thursday (Nov 20). She is currently completing her MBA in Marketing Management at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. An aspiring teacher, gave the correct answer “Dina Bonnevie” to the mystery question “Sinong aktres ang nanay nina Oyo Boy at Danica”?

Jobelle’s victory even felt surreal for her as she walked away with P1 million after fulfilling her dream of appearing on TV. She also works at an online gaming company to support her graduate education.
